[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I completely disagree that it is a "white" thing to question whether the school should be serving white bread.  I say this as someone who has a family full of people with diabetes and high blood pressure.  Wanting healthy food for your kids is not "white."  If there is ever going to be a shift at LT, the white families and black families (and Asian and latino families) must raise concerns at the school and hold it to the same standards they would have if their kid attended Brent. Or SWS.  It's absurd to let LT get away with providing less.  Maybe "white bread" isn't the best example of this, but frankly this conversation is exactly why we are leaving LT. [/quote]

As a Brent parent, I disagree with you.  When our child started at Brent, we focussed on the things that were really important-- getting decent books in the library, getting bathrooms in the pre-K 3 classroom(s), etc.  If we had pointed out every "slice of white bread" we had a problem with, we would have been completely burnt out.   Looking back I'm thinking the problem that I saw that I kept my mouth shut over was chocolate and strawberry flavored milk provided everyday-- white bread provided once a year to eat with fried fish-- that's a clown problem, bro!   was I "absurd" to let Brent "get away with providing" flavored milk?
